"The Jazz Theory Book" by Mark Levine is available in printed and digital form at www.shermusic.com.

Reminder: the guitar parts aren't in the book, and I'm just adding them from viewer requests. Finale has great guitar controls, but I don't know how they work yet, so am just using their default fingerings.

Note: I often recommend finding a state-certified instrument teacher. In California, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing lists certified teachers at their website, [ Ссылка ] Just click on the "Search for an Educator" button and then the "Public Search" on the page which displays. They require the teacher's last name.

Some of these are fast swing; listen to the original recordings to get the feel.

03:00 8-7 I think this is the lick, but I have to start a couple of bars early to find where it is in the measure: [ Ссылка ]

03:31 8-7.25 Used a tenor for realism. Strings for sustained sound. If I have the time, I'll go through several variations, and I usually find something really cool.

04:00 8-7.5 A little record-copy from the video on YouTube. Record copy is vital if you want to arrange. I didn't get all the notes just right; just aimed for the general feeling. I don't think I'd ever write a piano part like this one.

04:11 8-7.75 This shows the score from the slow version. Just experimenting with the sounds.

05:16 8-9 It seems to be in the middle of the phrase that starts here: [ Ссылка ]
Thinking of classical development, listen to this phrase from later in his next solo: [ Ссылка ]
